True to form, Adam, 56, gave a humourous but touching speech as he accepted the prestigious award.

During the speech, the Happy Gilmore actor recounted the events, or more precisely the people, that led to his success in comedy.

People like his mother Judy who played him Barbara Streisand records and his father Stanley who sang him Johnny Cash and introduced him to the Marx Brothers and other early comedians.

People like his sisters and his older brother Scott, who booked the Billy Madison star his first stand-up gig which after it didn’t go so well, also gave him the confidence to keep at it.

Confidence was a major talking point throughout Adam’s acceptance speech, his own as well as the family and friends who gave him the ability to feel confident.

Later in the monologue, the actor talked about the “favorite night” of his life — the night he met his future wife, and the other of his daughters, Jackie.

Adam stated that she was “sweet,” “gorgeous,” and “as nice as it gets,” before he jokingly revealed: “She also had the habit of telling me I was great at everything.”

He then highlighted his daughters as he stated: “Then along came two of the true best things, babies showing up — Sadie and Sunny.”

The camera then cut to the audience where the teenagers, Sadie, 16, and Sunny, 14, sat with their mother.

The young women, who managed to grow up out of the spotlight, smiled bashfully as their father gushed about them on stage.

Adam continued: “They’re the love of our lives, the most pride and joy that Jackie and I could ever feel.

“The life changers.”

He added: “When they speak, we either laugh, tear up, or just stare at them in amazement.”

“Every conversation we have, every day, every night, every drive, every meal, every smile, every hang we have, I’m only wishing time will stand still ’cause being with you two and mommy, that’s the best life can get.”

SURPRISE VISIT
Last week, LIVE! viewers were surprised by Adam Sandler’s appearance in the audience.

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest were on deck to interview actress Jennifer Aniston on Wednesday’s episode.

But viewers were in for an even bigger treat than that with a surprise cameo in the audience.

When Live! returned from commercial around the halfway point of the show, Jennifer asked Kelly if she noticed someone in the crowd.

She asked: “Did you guys see Adam Sandler in the audience?”

Kelly was visibly ruffled and surprised as she replied “We just noticed this!”

Ryan leaned forward in his chair, saying “We didn’t see you there in a green jacket in the audience just now, Adam Sandler.”

The crowd panned to Adam as he raised a microphone and grinned.

“Is he doing sales at Disney now?” Ryan asked.

Kelly exclaimed: “I did not realize!”

Adam leaned forward and murmured, “I just wanted to tell you, I am enjoying the show.”

The audience broke out into laughter and clapped for Adam.

“Yeah!” he exclaimed and took a sip of his coffee.

“You have a supportive friend!” Kelly told Jennifer, and they continued the show.

Later, Adam posed for a photo with Kelly, Ryan, and Jennifer.

INTERVIEW MISHAP

Holly Willoughby was forced to apologize on This Morning after Jennifer Aniston swore during a live interview.

The Friends star dropped a “s**ts and giggles” during the interview to promote the new Netflix comedy caper Murder Mystery 2, leaving Phillip Schofield chuckling as his co-star scrambled to apologize.

Unfazed Jennifer, who was speaking via video link alongside co-star Adam Sandler in Paris, casually said “I’m sure you can bleep that”, seemingly unaware the interview was taking place live.

It came while the pair were being quizzed on the film’s stunts.

Adam said: “There’s real. There’s some creation, but Jennifer was scared to fall off the Eiffel Tower. They called ‘action’ and she didn’t jump and I just snuck up and pushed her. It was fun to see that reaction.”

Phil responded: “I can imagine, someone pretending to push you off the Eiffel Tower. What fun!”

Jennifer then said “Just for s**ts for giggles,” before clasping her hand over her mouth.

Holly immediately said: “Sorry about that.”

Phil added: “No, it’s live, but don’t worry, we love it.”

Adam then joked: “At least you said giggles. There was happiness after it. Sorry, everybody.”

Viewers called the moment the highlight of an otherwise very awkward interview.

Adam and Jennifer play hapless private detectives Nick and Audrey Spitz in the flick and face the biggest challenge of their short careers after their billionaire pal is abducted at his own wedding.

Holly and Phil are big fans of the Murder Mystery sequel, telling their guests that they watched it last night.

Mum-of-three Holly said she watched it with her two eldest and praised it for appealing to the whole family.

While Phillip branded it a “sugary” Glass Onion Agatha Christie hybrid, which appeared to please the A-listers.
